What to see

Sheer walls drop into a winding cleft, and the viewing points along the rim look straight down into it. It lies in the hills near the Köprülü Canyon and Selge road, and many visitors come on organised jeep tours from the coast.

Thirty minutes to an hour at the viewpoints; combine it with Köprülü Canyon and Selge for a full day.

Keep well back from the rim, especially with children; the tracks to the viewpoints are rough, dusty in summer and muddy after rain.

Getting there

In the hills about 55 km north of Manavgat in a straight line (and a similar distance north-east of Antalya), off the road towards Köprülü Canyon and Selge; by car or on a tour.

Transport lines are general directions, not checked against the operator's timetable.
